Respondez! Vol. 7

Abstract

Respondez! (1992-2015) became Respond, starting with the 2016 issue. Respondez! is a poem written by Walt Whitman in 1871 as a call to action. The Respond staff interprets Whitman’s poem as a call for new, emerging ideas to be brought fourth and challenged. The journal embodies Walt Whitman’s poem by aiming to publish informative research that challenges mainstream assumptions.
The 1997-1998 issue of Respondez! is dedicated to Dr. Richard Piper, advisor to Respondez and the director of the University of Tampa's Honors Program. and to Dr. Francis Gillen, the founder of the University of Tampa' Honors Program. We thank you for many years of inspiration and insight.
"Implied in the philosophy of Honors at the Uni­versity of Tampa is the desire to stand at the bound­ary between the known and the unknown, the per­ceived and the barely- perceived needs and values in our society, between a centered and yet always open and growing self To give voice to that which because of our prevalent mindset is now voiceless, shape to what now goes unseen, strength and life to that which is crushed and unempowered: this is the creative task to which our Honors learning com­munity commits itself " - Dr. Francis Gillen
